When looking for a nursing home I would review medicare's website www.medicare.gov/NHCompare/home.asp to read more on a particular nursing home. If the review is satisfactory I would visit the nursing home at least twice. I would schedule the visits on different days and at different times. I would also drive by at odd times like maybe 7 or 8pm and the weekend.

Good idea. When I was looking for a nursing home I would also go at odd hours to get a better feel for the facility.

I didn't have alot of time when I put my mom in a nursing home so I put her in one that was close to me.  I sometimes wonder if I should have spent more time researching.  I've visited a few other nursing homes to compare after the fact and I really didn't see that much of a difference.  My mom seems to be attached now to some of the residents so I don't plan on moving her.

(http://www.csci.org.uk/) This site allows you to search for homes by location and you can also access reports on a service. I have no knowledge of homes in your area. Hope it helps.

I have just noticed the above link to the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) which no longer exists and has been replaced by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), which is essentially the same Government body, but with a new name.

I have found the following resource online (link below), which is free to use and shows all nursing homes on a Google map, which is useful for determining how many nursing homes are in close proximity to where you live.  I hope it helps - it also has some advice pages and a useful checklist to fill in when the time comes to view a nursing home.

I was really pleased with Sunrise Senior Living. They have all sorts of living options that you can choose from. I think that it is so important to make sure that you are familiar with a senior living facility or nursing home's offerings before you commit or commit a loved one to living there. It's important to do your research and make sure the facility you end up choosing is right for you or your loved one.

Yes this is really helpful. Checking medicare.gov and the reviews will sure help. Other sites also offers some useful forums and blogs and some sites had all the links wherein you can study the nursing homes they offer. Good luck to your search.

Cheers,
